Fragment Letter to a young poet by Rainer Maria Rilke

Tumblr,com

There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Find out the
reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the
very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if
you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent
hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if
this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a
strong, simple “I must,” then build your life in accordance with this
necessity; your while life, even into its humblest and most indifferent hour,
must become a sign and witness to this impulse.
